Move to NAS - HELP

I have a library with hundreds of playlists and 13 000 songs. Currently, the itunes library folder is in a custom location. The root folder with all the mp3 files is also in a different folder on another drive. I don't want to consolidate my library and that itunes screw up my folder structure. I would like to move my itunes on my nas drive folder in "NAS/file A" and the root folder of mp3 for "NAS/file B".

How do I step by step without breaking the links to each mp3? I've already started copying the files on the NAS server and maintaining installation current, just in case.

What I say to me I can:

(1) export a copy of all the selections to choose file > library > export library at MyMasterLibrary.xml now

(2) close itunes

(3) to rename the current itunes and mp3 of root folders to prevent itunes to 'see' the current files

(3) launch itunes and create a new library

(4) location change itunes media folder custom Edit > Preferences > advanced > itunes media folder location and change to "NAS/file B".

(5) import the MyMasterLibrary.xml under file > library > import Playlist

This should rescan the mp3 files and restore playlists from what I understand.

Any advice?

See make a library of portable split. In principle, you should be able to copy files from your library in the folder parent of this operation all the mp3s, then move the library to a new location, keeping any unchanged internal folder structure. My recommendation would be that you change folders to iTunes containing iTunes Media using the method described as this makes linking the library or a clone of it to any other computer easier.

Step 5. does not work unless you change the paths in the XML file. Reconstruction of the library from a modified version of the XML file will lose all original date added information. A new library will also be seen as news that the iPod is concerned may cause a useless resynchronization of all media. If you don't like my first suggestion, then it may be preferable to use a script (see here) to move the media a new path and to repair broken links at the same time. If all that is required is a search and replace operation in the existing location, it should be easy enough for me to tweak ConsolidateByMoving to that effect.

  • MOVIES with the HELP of hp DVD CANNOT BURN a DH16AAL SCSI CdRom Device

    I can burn music and play music CDs, but can play any dvd any help please it tells me to insert the disc

    Besides the fact that you have posted in the wrong forum.  (A mod will be soon along move this thread).

    You describe the device as a DVD and CDRom.

    If the drive is a CD player, then the symptoms you describe to wait.  CD player will only recognize the DVD.

    However, your drive may not be a CDRom drive as you say you can burn CDs - a CDRom is unable to burn anything.

    It seems that you have a CD burner, which means that it won't recognize DVD.

    (A DVD burner can read/write CDs, but a CD burner can't read/write DVD)

  • How to make a movie for a help file?

    All Howdee.

    Over the years, I've seen blogs, online Web pages, etc. that animated or movie files to demonstrate how to perform account operations in a program window - such as office, etc...

    As I thought about it, it seems that it would be necessary to use movie maker, or some other utility.

    I can see where using a camera may be necessary, but many of the films simply appear as if they were actually an animated screen capture. Or some kind of movie as activity of what is happening directly on/in from the screen.

    Anyone knows how this is done? The help files that describe the processes and programs/tools required to make these?

  • Movement while jumping help

    Hello! I am very new to the use of flash/actionscript 3 and I started to create a very simple game, but I'm really stuck on getting my character to move by jumping. For the moment, she can move and jump, but not at the same time. I tried to look into this but I can't seem to get anything to work. Again, I am new so any help would be great appreciated!

    Hi Folks, I'm building a site with a lot of mc at different depths and am using just code to load a picture from an external source without using_root of commands in one of the mc, it works fine when I test Flash, image loading well etc... but if I test it in a browser the image does not load. In fact if I just export the movie and play my desktop image does not load. It drives me crazy and I spent hours trying to solve this problem with no joy. The one you have ideas? This is the code (its just on an empty frame in my mc). Thanks, Craig


    var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip ("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth ());

  • have windows on Vista Developer, tried to install Windows DVD maker but doesn't seem to work, cannot publish the movie on DVD HELP

    I have the windows Director, went to Microsoft and tried to download Windows DVD maker but does not appear to have installed despite me try it 3 times, all I want to do is publish a movie!

    On Vista, Windows DVD Maker requires that you have Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  If you have one of these versions, you should already have Windows DVD Maker and Windows Movie Maker 6.0.  These versions of Windows Vista are required to have copies under license from MPEG-2 to make a video DVD.

    I was not aware of a separate installer for Windows DVD Maker, so I suspect you look at something of a 3rd site part. If it is a Microsoft site, can provide you the address you use?

    Movie Maker is not compatible with QuickTime. MOV

    There are many programs that can do conversions...
    The following freeware is an example...:

    Format Factory

    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip
    (FWIW... installation..., you might want to
    Uncheck the box 'all' boxes on the last screen)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    First... after the download and installation of Format

    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...
